Culligan Water Softeners and Conditioners

Is your Water working for you… or against you?

The term “Hard Water” refers to the amount of dissolved minerals (primarily limestone) in the water. It is usually measured in (gpg) grains per gallon or (mg/L) milligrams per liter. Homeowners will likely experience “Hard Water” spots on shower doors and dishware. They may not be aware of all the other problems associated with “Hard Water”.

According to the US Geological Survey:

Hard water requires more soap and synthetic detergents for home laundry and washing, and contributes to scaling in boilers and industrial equipment. Hardness is caused by compounds of calcium and magnesium, and by a variety of other metals. General guidelines for classification of waters are: 0 to 60 mg/L (milligrams per liter) as calcium carbonate is classified as soft; 61 to 120 mg/L as moderately hard; 121 to 180 mg/L as hard; and more than 180 mg/L as very hard.

So how hard is the water in Ohio and Pennsylvania?

In other words, according to USGS, our water is VERY HARD.

Keep in mind that water does vary a bit from house to house and even at different times of the year. The best way to determine how hard the water is at your house is with a Free Water Analysis. Fill out the contact form in the upper right to get started.

So how is SOFT water better than HARD water?

Hard water is hard on appliances, hard on hot water heaters, hard on pipes, hard on your skin and hair. Soft water cleans better, saves time, money and energy.
